Publisher's Synopsis
Do you dream of making a six-figure income with your music?
Would you like to leave your job and be a full-time, touring musician?
This book will show you how.
I spent almost three decades making my living as a professional musician - playing over 300 shows a year. I make a very comfortable living - well into the six figures - every year, and have for over a decade now. I do not have a record label, a manager or an agent. I am 100% independent and run my entire business from my laptop, my phone and with my guitar. I am a master at booking great paying gigs - and I will teach you all the tips and tricks you need to know. This book is for any musician in any genre of music.
Beyond the money - which is awesome - I am able to live the life of my dreams! I can not guarantee that this book will make you famous. I am definitely not famous. This is not a "get rich quick" scheme. This takes hard work. However, if you follow the steps in this book, I can absolutely guarantee that you will make money. Good money. And if you are really serious about your craft and about your business, I can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt, that you will make GREAT money by following the methods I outline in this book.

Testimony from G.R., a reader of this book: "I purchased your Successful Musician Mindset book and was extremely impressed! Honestly the best book on the practical application of the music business I have ever read! I have read your book twice and, I have to say again, the information you gave was absolutely golden! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a practical music business book discussing how to book a national tour step by step and you delivered a phenomenal amount of information in the most specific manner."
